E le gagau e ia le ū nutimomoia, na te le tineia foʻi se vavae ua mumū, seʻia ia faʻatūina le faʻamasinoga i le lalolagi…

Faʻauta i le aso o le Aliʻi, e afe tausaga. - Tusi o Panapa, O Tama o le Ekalesia, Na faamatalaina e Ch. 15:
The number a “thousand” is symbolic for a long period of time. What we are entering into is a new era as the old dies away. There is no easy way to put it: this is going to be a significant and painful transition, like labour pains that give way to new life:
For you yourselves know very well that the Day of the Lord will come like a thief at night. When people are saying, “Peace and security,” then sudden disaster comes upon them, like labor pains upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. (1 Thess 5:2-3)
This is why the Lord is patient, because the purifying of the earth will be a Day unlike any other, as many saints and mystics have attested. [1]ff. Tolu Aso o le Pogisa But God is so patient, treading so lightly among the bruised reeds—that is, those souls who are still open to His mercy before the Day of Justice comes.
…before I come as a just Judge, I first open wide the door of My mercy. He who refuses to pass through the door of My mercy must pass through the door of My justice... -Alofa Tunoa i Loʻu Agaga, Diary o St. Faustina, n. 1146
He comes like a gentle breeze, even now, so that the smoldering wick is not quenched—that is, so that the dying faith of many may have one last chance of being fanned into a brilliant flame, before the darkness of midnight engulfs the world. It is precisely because of such mercy and kindness in our God that we can pray with the Psalmist:
The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom should I fear? The LORD is my life’s refuge; of whom should I be afraid?
With Mary, then, let us bend today and kiss the feet of Jesus. Let our praise of His mercy rise like a fragrant oil to the heavens as we thank Him for waiting… waiting for us to be born, to find Him, know Him and to love Him, before the great and terrible Day of the Lord comes…
E le faʻatuai e le Aliʻi lana folafolaga, e pei ona manatu nisi o le "tuai," ae onosaʻi ia ia te oe, e le manaʻo e fano se tasi ae ia oʻo uma i le salamo. Ae e sau le aso o le Alii pei o se gaoi… (2 Pete 3: 9-10)
…let all mankind recognize My unfathomable mercy. It is a sign for the end times; after it will come the day of justice. While there is still time, let them have recourse to the fount of My mercy… -Alofa Tunoa i Loʻu Agaga, Diary o St. Faustina, n. 848
Listen to Mark’s song Unconditional,
about the unfathomable love of God…
